Amy K. Winter

Amy K. Winter is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at the University of Georgia's College of Public Health. Her research focuses on infectious disease epidemiology, particularly measles and rubella immunity, leveraging serological data and epidemiological modeling to inform public health policies. She has contributed to studies assessing vaccine introduction impacts, outbreak risk prediction, and vaccination coverage gaps in low-resource settings. Her work emphasizes policy-relevant questions and collaborations with global health organizations.

Key research interests include: 1) Measles/Rubella Elimination Strategies, 2) Seroprevalence Analysis, 3) Vaccination Program Effectiveness, and 4) Global Health Policy. She has conducted fieldwork in Zambia, India, Madagascar, and Pakistan, addressing challenges such as immunity gaps in childbearing-age populations and seasonal vaccination disparities.

Recent publications highlight her focus on multi-pathogen serosurveillance systems, cost-effectiveness of elimination strategies, and the role of serology in pandemic response (e.g., COVID-19). While no specific scientific awards are listed, her work has been widely cited in high-impact journals like The Lancet and Science.

Dr. Winter collaborates with institutions like WHO and contributes to modeling efforts for vaccine delivery optimization. Her research bridges quantitative methods with real-world public health challenges, aiming to improve disease control and equity in global health systems.
